566499 2007-07-07 06:21:00 Doesn't worry me, this PC is not used for anything sensitive/illegal... I am getting an 8800GTS and Bioshock which means I will need Vista to benefit from DX10 and I will be getting it at the end of the month... and can't wait :D

BTW macfan, I am sure very few people care what OS you run :rolleyes:

You should chuck a packet sniffer in between your machines and the net and really make sure who or what they are talking to. Makes for interesting reading.

OSX has lsof. This interesting tool will also show every open file (everything is a file in *nix remember).

566503 2007-07-07 07:19:00 I know they do a bit of communication with the OS although nothing as limiting as Microsoft.
There is this one apple.shm.notification_center, the rest is just listing the apps that I have open by the looks of things.
